Game Preview
Milwaukee Brewers (67–44, 1st in NL Central) arrive in Atlanta playing some of the best baseball in MLB. They’ve won six of their last seven games. They just crushed Washington in a three-game sweep, collecting a franchise-record 56 hits over the series. The team boasts a .257 batting average (second in MLB) and ranks fifth in total runs scored (555). They are backed by elite contact metrics and solid power production.
Atlanta Braves (47–63, 4th in NL East) have struggled this season. They recovered only recently with a series win over Cincinnati that snapped a long skid. The club is beset by injuries—five of their starting pitchers, including Grant Holmes and Chris Sale, are on the IL. This situation forced them to add Erick Fedde in late July.
Starting Pitchers
Quinn Priester (Milwaukee) continues to shine. At 10–2 with a 3.27 ERA and 89 strikeouts in 107 1⁄3 innings, he’s been Milwaukee’s most reliable arm all season. In two prior starts against Atlanta, he’s tossed 10 innings with a 4.50 ERA. However, he included a six-inning, one-run performance in June, striking out seven.
Erick Fedde (Atlanta), newly acquired from St. Louis, enters with a 3–11 record and 5.33 ERA in 20 starts. His debut start for the Braves last week was rocky: 4 2⁄3 innings, four earned runs and just three Ks. Overall, against Milwaukee in his career he’s 2–4 with a 5.77 ERA across 39 innings.
Matchup Insight
Priester’s strengths include excellent command (36 walks vs. 89 Ks), a 1.23 WHIP, and excellent performance against lefties. He holds them to a .216 average, which is key for facing Atlanta’s lineup heavy with left-handed power (like Olson and Riley).
Fedde’s liabilities include high walk rate (49 in 106 innings) and penalties vs left-handed hitters (.291 average, .505 slugging). Additionally, he has shown inconsistent results since joining the Braves.
Milwaukee’s bullpen remains deep and reliable, offering elite setup arms and closing options. In contrast, Atlanta’s relief corps is taxed following struggles in their rotation.
Brewers vs. Braves MLB BETTING PREDICTION
With Priester bringing command and consistency and Fedde still finding his footing, Milwaukee holds the clear edge. The Brewers’ offense, capable of punishing former White Sox/Cardinals starter Fedde, paired with their strong bullpen, should carry the day.
Final Projection: Brewers 6, Braves 4.
Brewers vs. Braves MLB Playoffs Prediction: MILWAUKEE BREWERS -142
